need a bit of help

sounds like you're on the right track. For the fuel line, if you'r runnig one of those summit chrome duel feed lines which look great they look better with a fuel guage, make sure you use teflon tape when you screw it together. Mine leaked all over, until i used the tape.You can use a screw clamp to hold the rubber gasline to the input end.
The clevland intake gasket set should come with one of those big silver galley pans, use it. It helps warm the manifold. Use enoughh gasket sealer but dont overkill it> You dont want that stuff on your valves.
Oh, the stock manifold has a port, where the carbs heat sensor bolted into. I dont know if the performer has that port built in, but my excellorator did. If you're not using it for the automatic choke, you will need to block it off. Edlebrock sells a piece for that. Good luck
